Maybe Off-baseball topic: Repro 1962 Wheaties cards
Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>Before you all laugh at me for buying this card or even for paying more than $1 for it, <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5120915047" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5120915047</a>, I only purchased it as a counterpoint to my original autographed 8 x 20 signed photo of Percy Williams in his Canadian Olympic track uniform (think Jackson Scholz, Chariots of Fire, and pre-steroids sprinting and two Olympic gold medals. Percy lived two blocks away from where we live, and lived a tragic life, ending up in suicide. It will someday make a great Canadian movie which no one will watch)<br /><br />The vendor has just written me advising that he believes this card was a reproduction, and is offering a refund upon the return of the card. Expert thoughts as to whether the offered item is a repro? Expert thoughts such as "Max, stick to baseball books" have already been duly noted.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Max<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1096590805.JPG">
